When I was 13, I lost my sight. Since then, I had learned to get about with a walking stick, but had to stay at
home because my parents thought I would get lost or robbed, even get hit by a car.
I, however, believed I could regain my way if I lost it. A neighbor told me that a public library was offering a free course designed for the blind. That's an important opportunity for me to kill two birds with one stone: I could practice my getting — about skills on my way to learning practical technology. My parentssettled forit.
But how would I plan my course? I knew that the blind singer Ray Charles, get around without a walking stick by counting steps. But I couldn't seem to do that the way he had. I developed the power of my imagination, catching the layout(布局)of places I visited and taking note of landmarks in my mind. Every time I visited a place, the mental map I'd drawn would turn up and helped me with the direction. But that doesn't mean I didn't lose my way in the process of acquiring this skill. I'd have to swallow(吞下)my pride to ask kind strangersfor help.
On those days I lost my way, I'd go to bed feeling down. But my desires to beat blindness and further my education were usually enough to get me out of bed the next day and try again. Today, I'm a published reporter and audio producer.
Yes, I've lost my way at times and found it again. And when people ask me,
"Aren't you afraid to be out on your own?” the answer to me is clear:I'd rather risk and find happiness than stick to safety and be painful.
Now, impressed by my progress, my father told my mother, "Our boy can see!". 4. What does the underlined phrases “settled for" in the second paragraph mean? A. Talked about. B. Stuckto. C. Agreed to.
